I haven't spent tons of time with it just yet but I did manage to put it head to head with my OG BiPhase and it comes extremely close sonically speaking. I think the MuTron may sound a touch fatter and warmer with a little deeper phasing but the Pi-Phase is the closest I've ever seen/heard any pedal get to it, so close I probably wouldn't notice the difference without having them both present to A/B. It also has all the same functionality as the original. It'll go way slow and way fast, pretty much the same range as the MuTron and I know there's internal trim pots that can affect rate range further but haven't messed with anything like that yet.
I've had a boatload of phasers in the past and the Pi-Phase is easily one of the coolest. I sold my Faye's Her within days of it's arrival. The Faye's Her is super cool too and sports more in terms of features and tweakability but it can't replicate that FAT MuTron-style phasing whereas the Pi-Phase is like 95% of the way there. As for enclosure size, it's a little bigger, almost identical to the Faye's Her actually, but it doesn't require any external footswitch (beyond expression) and it's sooooooo much smaller and pedalboard friendly than the original. Only catch is power, requires 16VAC but I have a CIOKS AC10 that powers it wonderfully.
Here's a quick pic to give you an idea of size compared to the MuTron:
Schnikes, do you think it could sound like this @ 1:25 with an expression pedal?
